These are great for when you want something low effort but still homemade. You can prep them ahead, bake them just before serving, and even customize the filling with different herbs or cheeses. They also happen to be naturally gluten-free, so they work well for mixed groups.

Helpful Tips

• Use mini sweet peppers: They’re the perfect size for stuffing and have a nice natural sweetness that balances the creamy filling.
• Soften the cream cheese: Let the cream cheese come to room temperature so it’s easy to mix and spread.
• Flavor it up: Change it up and add your favorite herbs to the filling for extra flavor.
